I hope that this post is not in violation of anything. If it is my apologies in advance and please remove:blush:


Ok so here goes. My family is going to WDW September 22-30th. I have someone that is going a few weeks before us and offered to send my 3 kids a post card while there. Now since I can't do this for her, I thought that I would offer to do this for other families on intercot since intercot has been so helpful to me. If there is already something like this on intercot, please move my post there.

I am willing to send out some post cards while we are in Disney to other families that are going after us. PM me with your info so that it is not posted on the thread - kids names, fav character, address ect and if you want it to say anything special. I am willing to do 5 to start with and see what kind of response that I get. If others are willing to do this, and the thread stays put, just post below with the dates that you are going and how many you are willing to send. Lets spread the pixie dust around !!!! :tink:
:pixie: :magic::pixie:

I know I am a little past it, but I guess I wasn't paying attention to how many posts I had. I wanted to do this for my 100th. Whoo hooo to me for making 100 posts!!!

I love this idea! We're not going anytime soon, but I would love if this became a permanent feature! :mickey:

Disneyfan328 this is a fantastic idea!!:mickey: My kids are older now, but they would have been over the moon to receive a post card before their trip.

Thanks for the positive response. I too thought this was a great idea!! As far as making it permanent I guess if we get enough positive responses, someone could make it a sticky in whatever forum this should be in and we could keep it going. I love the idea of making a little magic happen for others, and how much time/money does it take to send out a quick postcard???? It is just a small way for me to give back to others and I hope that I inspire others to do the same. If everyone just did one small thing for lets say 5 people and those 5 people did the same ect ect, I am sure you get the idea. It has been presented before. I see how wonderful and helpful the people on intercot are with everything so I knew that this would be a great place to get it started.

We are also buying extra glow bracelets and light up sticks before we go to pass out at the parades which is andother great idea I got from Intercot. :rocks: If anyone has any other ideas, post them here too. I am sure that there are tons of things we could come up with.

This is something that is routinely done on other WDW boards.

Dd got a postcard from Minnie Mouse last week for her bday!

Glad to hear that this is being done by others - Hopefully it will get a good response on these boards.

I also like the idea of it being done for Birthdays - Both of my youngest have bd's at Christmas so may I ask if anyone is going first week of December (or last week in November ) to send Birthday wishes via postcards to my two?

Thanks much!!!

I did this for my kids last year. I happened to be at Disney a couple of months before our family vacation. I picked up some postcards and brought them home, without the kids seeing them. I had my husband take them to his job and have friends fill them out. They weren't postmarked from Orlando, but my kids didn't notice that. Anyway, I offered up the leftover postcards such as you are doing and NO ONE responded. Glad to see you're getting a better response than I did. I think this is a great idea and I've seen it on other boards as well. :mickey:

I think it sounds great. We're taking my DSis, BIL and both kids with us next spring. It's been a long time since sis went, and neice just got back from a whirl wind trip. Nephew's never been before and I think it would be great, especially for him. I think I would love doing it for others as well.

I get warm fuzzies thinking about it.

What a great idea! It's that little extra something special to help kick off your vacation the right way! I will be there Dec. 1 till the 8th! If anyone would like a postcard please PM me with the information. I would love to help put a smile on a child's face! My DS's b'day is the week after we get back, so I'll be sending a card back home to him as soon as we land.:secret:

I just sent a PM asking to send a "See you Real Soon" postcard to my boys and wanted to throw my dates out there if someone wants me to do the same for them. We'll be in WDW from 10/19 - 10/29. Just shoot me a PM

I love spreading the pixie dust around!!!!
I have thought about this and have decided that we could do this for lots of occasions. Doesn't have to just be bdays or trips to Disney -

What about get well wishes (someone you know is having surgery or to welcome a new addition ), bdays, anniversarys, purchasing new homes, who wouldn't want to get something from Disney for any old occasion??? I know I would.

First day of school or big event for teens, good luck on the drivers test - Whatver the occasion. I still have openings so if you can think if ANY reason for me to send a PC to someone ( friend, relative, whatever ) just pm me and we'll get all the details.

For instance. I know of a friend that is due to have her baby sometime in October so I am sending a little card to her as well from Mickey and the gang to welcome her little one - the baby may or may not be here when the postcard arrives, but it won't matter.

This is too much fun. I only wish I could get to Disney more often to send these out!!!

As an after thought - even once I get back from Disney I am willing to send out get well cards, bday cards or wahtever to people that you may know of that could use a little cheering up. It may not have a Disney postmark on it but I could still do post cards to anyone in need and sign it from whomever!!!:mickey:

Other boards call these Fairy Godmailers.

People make requests for Fairy Godmailers to be sent to their kids or volunteer to send Fairy Godmailers to the first five responses.

I have been just a bit too late for all the Fairy Godmailer Volunteers going in mid-August to try to get two post cards sent to my kids before our September 4th trip.

FaithTrustPixieDust
07-27-2007, 02:27 PM
This might be a dumb question . . .if I offer to do Fairy Godmailers for someone whose favorite character is Mickey, should I get the postcard and have Mickey himself sign it? What if the recipient checks their autograph book and notices it's a forgery?!?!

disneyfan328
07-27-2007, 04:06 PM
I don't think you need to go that far with it - getting autographs in the park can be very time consuming. I can tell you that my oldest DD just went through our autograph books from our trip when she was 7 ( she is 17 almost 18 now ) and saw that even though we saw Mickey at least 3 different times ( chip and dale too ) that all of the signatures were a little different.

I am hoping that the kids will be too excited to pick up on it. If they do I am sure that the parents can think of something to tell them.

I can tell mine that maybe Minnie had to sign it for Mickey like mommy always has to sign daddy's names to the Christmas cards or something like that. again hopefully we won't have to go there.

Also so as not to be in trouble with other boards I am going with "Mickey Mailers" for the title on this thread. Thanks to moderator Jeff for making that change for me.

We are going to be in Disney Nov. 16th - 24th for Thanksgiving and I would love to send out postcards to anyone needing them around that time. I'll do like others have stated and send out to the first 5 requests I get. Also if anyone is going before our trip, say sometime in Oct. I'd love for my boys to get a "See you real soon" postcard. This is a great idea. I just love it!!!

07-28-2007, 08:11 AM
Okay, I have a question...What do we write on these postcards? Just see you soon or whatever the occasion is? Do the postcards need to be signed?

Count me in. I'll be at WDW Dec 1-7. PM me and I'll do the first 5 responses.

BelleBeauty
07-28-2007, 10:11 AM
I love this idea! We aren't going soon, but I can't wait to be a part of Mickey Mailers when we do book a trip.

Now is there any way to make this official with Intercot? I feel like we should have some sort of sheet with the dates of who is offering to send and 5 openings for postcards, etc. Something to make it easier to see if someone can send you a postcard, and something to make it easier for those requesting to put the address, occasion, character, etc.?

Mods is that possible? I'd be willing to volunteer to help if that was necessary!

All three of my children, girls, are going off to University/College this September, and we're taking a trip to Disney when they are done next April/May, would anyone going very shortly be interested in sending them good luck/see you next year cards? They love Disney and would love to get them! Thanks:number1:.

What a wonderful idea! We had to cancel our trip for this year, so we won't be going until next August, but I'll definitely extend the offer to take part in a Mickey Mailing then. :mickey: Can't wait to get to share a little magic!

07-30-2007, 12:43 AM
How sweet of you to think of this. I don't have kids and I'll be there in September so no postcards are needed here but I just wanted to tell you that, this is a fantastic idea. There should be more people like you on the planet.

PNWmom
07-30-2007, 12:48 AM
Count me in. We are going 10/29-11/04 I would love for our DS and DD to get cards before we go. I will return the favor then for two others when we are there. PM me if you can send cards or want me to send to you.

Thanks,

I have sent postcards to various kiddos (some I know, some I don't) my last 3 or 4 trips to WDW. It is SO much fun to do. I assume the personality of a favorite character and tell them either that I can't wait to see them (if they are about to have a vacation) or that I miss them (if the vacation has passed). I know one little boy who slept with the postcard that Buzz Lightyear sent him! It would be GREAT to get a regular sign up type thing going for INtercot members!!

I'm not going until January -- but would be happy to help anyone out.

Disneymom4ever
07-30-2007, 12:44 PM
I will be there from Aug. 19-24th, so if anyone would like to receive post cards around that time, just pm me. I'll send the first 5 responses I get. Let me know if you'd like anything special on the card. What a great idea! :mickey:

I think this is a really great idea. I'm not going until 09 so can't send any soon but would really love to join in. I would also love it if anyone could send one to my liitle boy. He will be starting 1st grade in a few weeks at a new school and I think this would help ease his fears and help get him excited...If anyone could do this for me please PM me..Thanks

I'm leaving on September 22nd...I would be happy to send cards to the first 5 who PM me!

Ditto !!! I have been there too (at least I think we are talking about the same place) and you are right not always nice!

another pp said that they do it elsewhere too, but I just wanted to do something for someone since someone was doing it for me. I am glad that it has taken off and hope that it keeps up.

Again I still have openings and am leaving 9/22 - 9/30 Please PM by the 20th as I don't know how much computer time I will have after that!!!

We will be at WDW next week and would like to pay it forward in celebration of the Mickey Mailer who sent DD4 her post card (which she carries with her EVERYWHERE and tells EVERYONE that she got a card from Princess Aurora).

If you are interested, please PM me with your child's name, favorite character, address and any other specifics that are necessary.

I will send to the first 5 who PM me before September 5th.

Any Qs? Let me know.

Hi Disneyfan,

What a great idea this is, thanks for pointing it out to me.

***********

I am looking for the opposite to be done. Maybe you have seen my other post, but Disneyfan suggested I respond to this thread, so I am.

I have a very good friend that I have been planning a surprise vacation for.

His body is shutting down on him due to all the health problems and diseases that he has lived his whole life with. I have received donations from his and my friends and family and complete strangers. It is getting really close to his trip (He still doesn't know!).

He arrives on September 21st. We will be telling him this coming Friday. hehe, his parents are having him over for dinner and many people will be there, when I call and tell him that he will be going to Disneyworld in 2 weeks!

Anyways, here is what I am trying to accomplish. I would like people from anywhere/everywhere to send him a post card or a note, letter, whatever, wishing him to have a great vacation at Disneyworld.

I really think people that he does not even know wishing him well, will help to make this a spectacularly magical vacation.

He has never been to WDW before and really wants to go.

If you PM me, I will respond with his information to send him a card and a link with more information on what I have been doing for him.

Thank you very much!

All of your :pixie: will be greatly appreciated!

Is anyone in WDW now? My cousin is coming with us to WDW for the first time and it would be so magical for her to get a 'See You Real Soon' postcard from Mickey Mouse! If anyone is in WDW now and can send out a postcard tomorrow or Saturday please let me know! (They leave on Wednesday morning of next week) I wish I had seen this thread sooner!

For those who have mailed out cards from WDW, where did you find the mailboxes? Did you mail the cards in the park, at your resort or in DTD?

disneyfan328
10-02-2007, 03:06 PM
WE just got back on Sunday:( (late) and we found a mail box at the resort gift shop at POR. That is where I mailed all of the ones that I sent so look for them in the next couple of days!!!

Also, to add a note to this thread.....

I had a VERY hard time finding character specific cards other than the norm - Mickey/ Minnie - the whole gang or Princesses - these were easy to find.

Unless someone knows of where to get these at home before we go ( ie... I was looking for a stitch postcard, mike and sulley, toy story /buzz or cars ) and didn't see them anywhere - or was I just looking in the wrong places??????

A great big thank you to disneyfan328, my kids got their cards today! My daughter asked "Mom, did you arrange this?" I'll never tell.:secret:

They were postmarked on the 1st so that only took 2 days to make it clear across country to Washington!
Thanks again,

disneyfan328
10-04-2007, 10:14 AM
That's great!! I am so glad that they got them. As posted above, I did try to find a better selection of post cards, but other than Mickey and the gang and princesses or park specific things, there really is not anything with any other characters on them :(. I am glad they they enjoyed them and hope that it brightened there day. For anyone else that I was sending to - they were all sent at the same time, so I am in hopes that you got them.


I have a request. If there is anyone that is going soon that plans a trip to the animal Kingdom I never got any postcards from there, and really wanted one (or two hehe) of Expedition everest and finding nemo? Not sure if they even have that one but I am pretty sure that they probably have them in the gift shop at the end of the ride for Everest. If anyone would be willing to snag me one and send it I would greatly apprecaite it. You don't even have to write on it or just Greetings from the Yeti or Nemo or something. It was an awesome ride and show and I wanted a good post card of it for our scrapbook. that que area is amazing for EE

I will be there from oct 10 to the 14th if anyone needs a postcard pm mewhat you need. I love this idea as I remember that I loved getting mail when I was a kid and even now! This is a great idea and would love to send out some cards.

My 3 kids got their postcards today!!!! I want to thank my dear intercottee that did it for them! I had cleaned out my PM mailbox after it got too full, and sadly, and embarrassingly so, I don't know which terrific member of our boards agreed to send my kids their cards! They loved them. They were specific to what my kids liked, and Katie loved the reference to Jack Sparrow, and Khloe loved the reference to Nemo! Thank you Thank you my intercot friend!! It made their day! And mine too!

Thank you Amanda (Momof2boys)!!! My boys received their postcards over the weekend and were so excited. I don't know who was more excited me or them! LOL. I loved what you wrote, very true to the characters you were portraying. I hope you and your family had a wonderful vacation!

I still have availability to send out postcards to the first five who PM me. We will be going Nov. 16- Nov. 24 and would love to send some WDW magic to others while we are there.

I'm so glad that Denise's boys & mouseketeer mom's kids enjoyed their cards. It was just as fun writing them !



Our postcards came while we were gone, but the boys checked the date stamp and saw that they were sent before we left so they knew mom & dad didn't send them while we were down there. Thanks much !



This is such a great idea !

Please PM me with the information by 12/01/07. I'll do my best to find appropriate characters, but please provide alternate choices--just in case! The cards probably won't be mailed until late in our visit. Our plans for the first 6 days are a wee bit hectic!

Thank you to the wonderful person who helped me out on sending a post card from Cinderella to my best friend that treated me to Disneyland for my birthday. I'm so embarrassed :blush: that I also can't remember which Intercottee helped me out. (so Mouseketeermom - don't feel too bad - it happens to the best of us!) My friend was dying to know how I arranged it. She kept saying "it was postmarked from Orlando... who do you know in Orlando." I refused to tell her... she bugged me quite often during the whole trip trying to get me to tell her...so thanks again! :thanks::rocks:

I will try to send those out within the first couple days of my visit. It will be fun to make a child's day!

Just wanted to bump this as Ive not had any responses!

I may be a bit hasty in posting this since we are not going until late July but I would love to spread the pixie dust for someone! After our first trip my Mom (the original Disney Kid in our family) did this with my daughter and she LOVED it! She got them for good grades, reminding her to be a good kid, the upcoming trip, etc.. only we did it from VA. A neat tip we did... when you go to WDW, mail a bunch home BLANK (addressed to the kids), and then when you get home, quick! put them away for when you need them - to be filled in with whatever mssg u need! When the kids get them the dates will be off but will be postmarked by Disney. If your kids are like mine was - theyll never notice. This year my DD is 17 and we're taking her BFF (whos a newbie!) .. I know they would both love to get one as its been several years since we've done this for our now not -so- little - but- still -HUGE- MICKEY- LOVER- DD! :mickey:
PM me with kids names, address and fav character along with anything special you might like the post card to say!

Thanks for a great idea. When my boys were younger (lol, as recently as 2006), I would "arrange" disney magic -- faxes from The Mouse, personal invitations to dinner from characters, etc. I am a big fan of creating as much magic as possible.
We are 123 days our first trip with our "new family" (My darling new wife and her two wonderful (never been to WDW) sons). The boys are all older (11, 13 and a pair of 14s!).
I am trying to hold off "the age of not believing", but it's a struggle. If someone could send post cards to my "been there" boys, it would excite them and remind them of all the magic of their youth (omg, getting a little misty eyed...). And post cards to my "new" sons would be their first taste of Disney Magic (they want to be excited, but they have no idea what's in store, so they are a little unsure).
If one of you would send us post cards, I will be glad to return the favor. Im looking forward to being a secret magic provider for others.
I dont know how to contact each other off-board, so if someone wants to send cards to us or have us send cards to them, please post here how I can reach you.
all the best, :rocks:

thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU !
My four sons (11, 13 and two 14s) got their post cards and were dumbstruck ! My "original" sons have grown up with Disney and random acts of Disney magic like this, but even at 14 and 11, they were still so pleased and surprised. And my "new" boys (13 and 14), havent ever been and really didnt "grow up" with Disney. They were truly AWED. They still cant figure out how the "characters" knew so much about them ! Of course they know there is some trickery afoot, but you helped me plant the seed of Disney magic in their hearts. I hope you know how much that means to my whole crazy family. Thank you so very much.
We are going down 5/31 - 6/11, so someone drop me a line, and your kiddlets will get a card from their favorite character.:thanks:

I have 3 postcards that I would love to have sent out.

If anyone is going in the next 2-3 weeks would be perfect. I have 2 bday wishes that are at end of March and a wedding anniversary at end of April. If anyone is going around before then that could do these PM for the info. I just missed MissyMickey's trip as I haven't been able to be on here for awhile. I hope everyone is still having a great time with this and will keep it going. Don't forget about all of the other little ways to keep spreading the pixie dust in the parks too!! Those glow braclets are a huge hit when you pass them out at parades. My kids had a great time sharing the glo.


As an added note:

I need lots of prayers and pixie dust for my great niece. she was born premature, and also has some heart defects. She is going to be in the CICU at Childrens hosptial here in PGH for a while so if you could keep her in your thoughts and prayers. Her parents are going through a very rough time. Her name is Braelyn.

If anyone is going anytime soon and would like to send get well or thinking of you wishes to her or her parents that would also be great!!! They can use all of the support that they can get. PM me and I will provide my address to have them sent to.

Send us a PM, we plan to be there in 15 days. Happy to do this for anyone on ICOT.

For our DD, we sent her a set of mouse ears, snacks, autograph book, pen, etc. in a package deal from WDW florist. She got it earlier this week -- we sent it from Mickey and Miney. She freaked! :thumbsup:

I make up my own letters and send them to my nieces and nephews about a month or so before we go, depending on what all we have planned, I have a letter from Mickey and one from all the Princesses for my nieces. I have made them for MVMCP and for Chef Mickeys. Email me at [email protected] or [email protected] and I can send you some examples of what I send. I did a Pirates one for my 14 year old niece and I don't think she ever figured out it was me sending it. I also have the Walt Disney World font on my computer so I type up the return address on the envelope so it looks like it is coming from Walt Disney World! For the older nieces I send the letters in a larger envelope to my friend who lives in Florida and she drops them in the mail there so they are postmarked from Florida.

I LOVE this idea. We are taking our son for his first trip to Disney for his birthday :party: Feb 27 - March 6, 2009 and I would love if someone would do this for him. He knows he's going, we just keep telling him it's a long time away. Although I know our trip is 7 months away, I would enjoy returning the favor for someone.:mickey: Just PM me if you are having a trip after we get back and I will gladly send postcards. This is a great thing for a people to do to put smiles on the faces of the littlest Disney fans! :magic:

It looks like I will be sending out 5 or 6 cards which is great news. Thanks to everyone that got in touch with me. It is great to have an opportunity to spread a little joy around the world. It's also a nice geography lesson for me because until this year I didn't know where most of these places were, well, I knew they were north west of Florida somewhere ;)

I do have a question though, does anyone know what time the post is collected from MK midweek? Someone is flying in only a few days after I arrive so we're not sure if it will make it in time. Is the package pick up on Main Street the best place to post cards from?

08-29-2008, 03:55 PM
I have been asked by 2 families to send postcards when we are there and I thought it would be a nice touch if it could be written in "Disney writing"...I have searched online to find the whole alphabet written that way and I cant find it...Anyone know where I could find this? (If nobody can figure out what I am talking about just look at the top of the page where it says Discussion Boards, that is the writing I am talking about)

08-29-2008, 04:20 PM
I was able to download the Disney font a few years back. I don't remember exactly where I got it, but you should be able to google Disney font and get some good results.

I love the idea of Mickey Mail! My son is just a baby so he doesn't really care about post cards, but I'd love to send some cards to others while we are in the world. We'll be there Oct 19-25. Just send me a PM and I'll be happy to send you a post card.

Thanks again, I appreciate it.

elmjimmlm sent my DS a postcard and he got it yesterday. When I gave it to him he got really excited and screamed that Mickey sent him a letter! I read the message to him and he asked how Mickey knew his name, so I told him it's knd of like how Santa knows his name :blush:. He held onto it all evening and kept looking at it and saying "Are you kidding me?" which is his phrase for "this is great!" :cloud9: When I told him it was time to put it away, he put it in his treasure box in his room along with his Goodnight Moon book, stickers from speech therapy, a receipt from the first toy he bought with his own money and a cookie bag from McDonald's!
Thank you so much! This was a geat experience for him.

I wasn't sure where to post this on Intercot and decided to put it here.

In Sept 2007, I took my friend James (JJ) Bond to Disneyworld as a surprise "dream" trip for him.

Many of you sent him cards wishing him a great trip that were at his resort when he arrived.

There were a couple of you from Intercot that even had the chance to meet up with him while he was there.

JJ passed away last night.

I was able to spend several days with him just before Christmas and he brought up his dream trip several times while we were there. How so many people that didn't even know him took the time to make his trip special was amazing to him and made him feel so special.

Anyways, to those that took the time, THANK YOU so much.

For those that are members of this thread, don't underestimate the value of what you are doing here.

Sorry for the short hijack, but out of everyone on Intercot, it was memebers of this thread that would know about JJ and understand this.

Thank you again.

Mike

Mike,

I am so sorry to hear about JJ's passing. I was fortunate enough to meet him and reading his story was truly inspiring. He is so lucky to have a friend like you ( and all of those who didn't know him, but took the time to help out with this trip ) It is a wonderful thing you did and I am so glad that he was able to enjoy himself for that wonderful vacation. You are truly a friend in all sense of the word. Thank you for what you did for JJ. He will watch over you now and be free from pain and discomfort.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and his family & friends.

Thanks to the Kids-Free promotion we are finally able to take our three little ones to the House of Mouse for our first family vacation! :party:

I have heard from friends about people being a Fairy Godmailer - where you would send postcards to kids from Disney World like they are from Mickey...

Well I have a simplier request, in trying to keep our trip costs down and still make for a really fun and memorable trip, my mom and I are teaming up to preshop for souvies.

We will be visiting Disney World in Early April, while we are there we would like to plan a scavenger hunt with our little ones to have them hunt around our hotel room for treats and hints to what the next day's activities will hold. The plan is that this will not only help a LOT with bedtime and heading back to the room each night, but also help a great deal with the "I Wants".

I have been looking just about anywhere and everywhere but can't find postcards - so I am resorting to begging. :blush:

We are planning on visiting Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios and Epcot and I would love it if anyone going could mail us a postcard from ANY of these places (or all if you are in a super dooper mood) :number1: - you don't have to try for a certain character - just any postcard showing one of the parks - you don't even have to personalize it - I will use the note area to write their scavenger hunt riddles.

If anyone is game - my three little ones :mickey::mickey::mickey: and I :thumbsup: would greatly appreciate it - please contact me via Private Message (PM).

Hi all! I am not exactly sure how this works - only just saw the post but my son turns 3 in 2 weeks. We live in Switzerland and so, a postcard would have to be mailed fairly quickly (and require xtra postage I am afraid) but he would love a postcard from Mickey and the gang that said Happy Birthday! ..and my almost 5 yr old would be totally amazed!! Pls PM me if you are willing and able!

I will be at the world myself 2nd week of Feb and will be happy to do postcards for anyone else!

Is anyone going in the next couple of weeks? It would be nice if I could get a postcard sent to someone.

Additionally, I will be there Sept 29 - Oct 9 if anyone wants me to send some out.

Hey Cinderelley,

We are going in November. Not only would I be willing to do this for someone else, I think this would be a wonderful way to tell my boys they're going. Is anyone going soon that would be willing to send us a card?

And for those of you who have either sent cards or received cards - what have the cards said? Just wondering what I'll need to write when it's my turn!

Thanks! And thank you, thank you, thank you to the original poster of this idea! What an amazing way to spread the magic!

Your very welcome!!:mickey:

As far as what the cards say, its really up to you and the person that is asking for the card. They may have something specific like keep up the good grades and have happy birthday or mickey says to keep your room clean and he'll see you soon, or they may just say to send it from Mickey (or whomever the fav. character is ) and that they have missed this certain person and can't wait to see them again. Usually the person looking for the card gives enough specifics so that its pretty easy.

Good Luck and I hope all of those that are sending and receiving cards are enjoying spreading the magic!:party:
